Microsoft will sell the Surface tablet in China via a new online store

Microsoft has no traditional stores in China and rumor has it that the company is planning to bring its new products in the country via the Suning network.

Still, the company wants to do a part of the job all by itself, so it recently launched its first China-based online store selling the Surface and Office.

The website will be most likely updated with some other products anytime soon.

While Microsoft hasn’t yet commented on the new online store opening, the company is probably struggling to prevent the avalanche of Surface replicas that will most likely emerge in China.

Of course, the Redmond-based company is very serious about stopping hackers and companies from copying its products, but it’s just a waste of resources most of the time.
